lib.rs:

This crate provides wrappers and convenience functions to make rust-url and Serde work hand in hand.

The supported types are:

• url::Url

How do I use a data type with a Url member with Serde?

Use the serde attributes deserialize_with and serialize_with.

#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct MyStruct {
#[serde(with = "url_serde")]
url: Url,
}

How do I encode a Url value with serde_json::to_string?

Use the Ser wrapper.

serde_json::to_string(&Ser::new(&url))

How do I decode a Url value with serde_json::parse?

Use the De wrapper.

serde_json::from_str(r"http:://www.rust-lang.org").map(De::into_inner)

How do I send Url values as part of an IPC channel?

Use the Serde wrapper. It implements Deref and DerefMut for convenience.

ipc::channel::<Serde<Url>>()
